Worst pc builds messups/fails or just worst pc builds in general?

Hello!
I would like to know what your worst pc build failures have been. Also if you have photos of a simply bad pc build, such as really ugly clashy colors or duct taped pc 😛 or something like that let me know!
Thank you,
Maxence

I don't have any images, but my worst one was a celeron 600, I left on vacation for a few days and left the pc case outside, when I came back it ran normally, only after 2 months later when I decided to clean it, I found an abandoned wasps nest inside the CPU cooler.

At that time, celerons were passively cooled unless you put it under load, which I never did. There was no way in hell I could know wasps would try to make themselves at home inside.

That seems crazy! At least you didn't have any live wasps in there 😛

Naaah, it was summer, and it was sitting on the sun, they probably had it to toasty in there! 😀
